Authorities launched a criminal probe Friday after they learned from The Enquirer that a Northern Kentucky Water District employee had been forced to resign after being accused of stealing nearly $14,000 in taxpayer money from the public utility.

The Kenton County Sheriff's Office served a subpoena at the utility's Erlanger headquarters shortly before noon. Commonwealth's Attorney Rob Sanders said he will request a grand jury investigation into the theft.
